Chapter 332 - Celebration (2/2)

Ying Sheng guessed that he hadn't expected her to come home so soon. She had no clue what he was up to, prompting her to cross her arms over her c.h.e.s.t.

”What's going on?” She asked him, lifting an eyebrow at him.

Liam walked closer to her, gesturing to all of the baked goods.

”Setting up a makeshift bakery,” he responded in a casual tone. He picked up a red velvet cookie and bit into it, humming at its sweet taste. ”You should definitely include red velvet sweets.”

”It's not that popular of a flavor,” Ying Sheng murmured, eyeing him as he came closer. He seemed to be dodging around her question, but she would play his game if he would eventually tell her what was going on. She didn't get the point of filling their apartment with so many sweets. Though, they did look and smell really good.

”You just don't like it. It's popular,”Liam pointed out as he stopped a few feet in front of her. He finished off the cookie and then wiped the crumbs off of his hands.

”What are you up to? Is this some sort of stunt to wow me or something?” Ying Sheng asked him. If she was honest, it did wow her a little bit due to all of the effort he had to have gone through to pack the house with sweets and decorations in such little time. She had only been gone for a few hours, and he had managed to already pull all of this off.

”A stunt? Maybe. It's… a celebration,” Liam replied before leaning over to pick up a striped birthday kazoo, the tongue rolling out as he blew into it. He then tossed it aside.

Ying Sheng sighed, her arms dropping from in front of her c.h.e.s.t. She guessed that this was an attempt to make up for her birthday. He really didn't have to do this. She wasn't really in the birthday mood anymore.

”The last one didn't go so well,” Ying Sheng reminded him, wondering why he wanted to bring up the past. She considered fleeing to her room before the conversation kept heading that way, but she couldn't bring herself to move from the spot. He was looking at her with eyes so full of hope that she felt frozen.

”Because I ruined it,” Liam replied with a small nod.
